Why does MediaPlayer show so much Verbose log on android?

Question

I'm using MediaPlayer to show SplashVideo and the log is suspiciously filled with verbose message. It's not an error but still it is not a normal behavior .

    Uri video = Uri.parse("android.resource://" + getPackageName() + "/"
            + R.raw.logo_vid);
    videoHolder.setVideoURI(video);
    videoHolder.setOnCompletionListener(new OnCompletionListener() {
        public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp) {
            jumpMain();

        }
    });
    videoHolder.start();
}

and this is the log...

As I wrote its working but I wonder if I'm doing it right

You could just hide the logs using the solution described here: https://mcmap.net/q/264573/-how-to-filter-out-a-tagname-in-eclipse-logcat-viewer/450534 – Insoluble

because MediaPlayer is pretty complex to get right :-) . Plus that is the definition of Verbose – Rm

thanks , i konw i can hide it but i gut to ask myself why certain method shows amount of logs like my entire application ? i guees what i want to know is if this code is the best way to play video , maybe there is cleaner way . – Vanpelt

A bug report has been filled, it is a really annoying behavior indeed : code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=67557 – Hum
